my roomate's sister makes $75/hour on the computer. She has been without work for 9 months but last month her income was $8465 just working on the computer for a few hours. Here's the site NuttyRich.c0mhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9cc53d69bedd256d00000bKCRobMon, 17 Oct 2011 20:15:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9cc53d69bedd256d00000b
A succinct summary on why IT sucks.

I've decided that technology is a real hobby (think ham radio, volunteering on an open source project that piques your interest)... Career? Not so much.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9cc2eeecad04402200001bKCRobMon, 17 Oct 2011 20:06:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9cc2eeecad04402200001b
I've been writing software for embedded systems for more than twenty years (transportation, medical, instrumentation) and I see little evidence that my skills, or the skills of laid-off colleagues are worth much. When I started programming in the 80s (self taught in my 20s) I was well paid, had a private office, attended conferences, and was treated well. Same for many of my colleagues.
These days, it's small, noisy cubes, flat pay (no raises, no 401k match this year), management that disdains the technical staff, and the opportunity to watch a couple of layoffs.
When the company makes money, management and sales enjoy some of the profits. When sales are slow, the ax falls in engineering.
The smart kids are smart enough to avoid STEM.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9ca13fecad04b66e000020stevexMon, 17 Oct 2011 17:42:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9ca13fecad04b66e000020
Another problem with this list and what is wrong with America
For Profit Education: One of the few industries where being profitable correlates with a decrease in quality.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c9ce969bedd3d1800000fstevexMon, 17 Oct 2011 17:23:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c9ce969bedd3d1800000f
John, jut thought i'd let you know that you and every other IT recruiter out there are SCUM.
The reliance on H1B visa candidates stems from the lack of pay these people will take.
This is what IT recruiting firms do in Jersey, import a bunch of Indians and Asians, take their resumes and DOCTOR EVERYTHING up they've ever done and pass them off as legitimate and qualified when in fact they aren't anymore qualified then a US citizen.
You don't need to be an engineer or mathematician to pump out code or do most IT related jobs. Some of the best software engineers are high school drop outs, what the fuck is a PHD good for if a high school drop out can do it?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c83faecad04fc3e000018nexmationMon, 17 Oct 2011 15:37:30 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c83faecad04fc3e000018
As an IT recruiter, I can confirm that there has been significant growth in IT jobs over the last decade. One of the biggest issues we face is the fact that there is actually a shortage of qualified IT professionals in this country. IE software engineers, business intelligence developers, and architects, software developers, project managers, etc...
This has lead to a very strong reliance on H1B Visa candidates and off shoring. Our schools absolutely NEED to be turning out more engineering students in this country. Focus on Math and Science.

Yet another reason to become a hedge fund manager.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c6efaeab8ea547200000cYeah RightMon, 17 Oct 2011 14:07:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e9c6efaeab8ea547200000c
Yes, this is where the jobs will come from, except for the ones that can be outsourced to India and the Philippines.
Not to worry. The new world order is making things better for everyone (assuming you're a multinational corporation rather than an American citizen, of course).
